Warring with symbols

We are all volunteers

in the army of symbology.

All fighting a pseudo war

for authenticity’s sake.

We may luckily return

as heroes of self love

but the casualty counts

are highly contested.

Many wounds

only bleed emotions.

There will be vine deaths

in service to the cause

that never know the bloom

of victory first hand.

For the enemy’s lines

are unclear

and the cause worthiness

is never cleanly stated

in terms we can

easily defend or embrace.

Where we live our lives

beyond the upkeep

and the projections,

the ocean of oneness

goes along mostly unnoticed

but blessedly undisturbed.

The nectar is not to sip

but the ocean itself.

The hobby of symbology

will have its time and place

as all methods do.

That frame of mind

and its war of application

will cease to be so center stage

when oneness is in full bloom.
